Silence in Heaven

And then Jesus, the lion from the tribe of Judah, stepped forward, reached out His nail-scarred hand and took the scroll.  A thunderous chorus erupted from thousands upon thousands of angels, the four living creatures, and the 24 elders saying,  “Worthy, worthy is the Lamb of God who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength, honor and glory and blessing.”
